This vibrant and bright first poster for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was just released by Paramount. First and foremost, congratulations for not calling it The Sonic Chronicles: A Fantastical Tales or Sonic the Hedgehog: Chapter 2, despite the fact that the wording plainly indicates that they anticipate people to simply refer to it as "Sonic 2" (#SonicMovie2 is now the hashtag of choice). Second, this poster is quite lovely, promising a more source-true video game-based sequel in which Sonic (Ben Schwarz) and Tails (voiced by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who has been voicing the character in various capacities since 2014) battle Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey, who now essentially looks like his video game-counterpart) in Mobius or wherever Robotnik ended up in the first film's mid-credits cookie.

This poster is being released ahead of the first trailer's debut at The Game Awards tomorrow night, indicating that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be among the slew of "big movies of 2022" trailers we'll be seeing over the next two weeks for West Side Story, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Matrix: Resurrections, and/or Sing 2.
